Nice effects though.

A Masterpiece!

what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

In struggling to find a suitable ending to her novel, she overcomes her writer's block when finding a potential ending in her struggle against a home invader. Contrived, to say the least. The unique angle of this film was her deafness, which you might imagine would up the suspense, but it's not used in any creative way and is instead forgotten about. What are we left with? A random killer, randomly killing, with a roll-of-the-dive defeat at the end. Final shot? Well, despite the hole in her leg and fingers broken in every direction, she lets out a little smile. Wtf.

A great horror film released on Netflix. You should give this one a shot if you like genuinely creepy stories.

The slasher genre was at it's peak in the 80's, when the 90's came it began to struggle and in this guys opinion it's never fully recovered. Sure every once in a while a high profile slasher movie pops up but the interest never seems to last.I'd say a primary reason is that they're all the same but that could be said about a lot of horror sub-genres.Here we have the story of a mute/deaf author who lives out secluded in the forest and you guessed it she falls foul of a masked killer.The fact she's deaf actually adds more of an element to the movie than you'd imagine and though Hush suffers from the same Slasher tropes as every other it manages to stay fresh regardless.Well shot, well written and well acted by both little known leads I came away from Hush very satisfied. Sure it's nothing revolutionary but it didn't need to be, it's a demonstration that slashers still have life left in them.The Good:Cat survived!Some well crafted momentsBoth leads were excellentThe Bad:Slasher tropesThings I Learnt From This Movie:Sometimes lack of motive makes a killer that much scarierIf anyone tried to hurt my cats the arrow would be going up their butt not in their shoulders

How are people giving bad reviews ??? Are you watching the same movie? How high are your expectations? I absolutely loved this movie. I love horror movies and am usually a tough critic, which is why I definitely mean it when I say this is a good movie. Great even. Great acting and great story line.
